Josie Charlwood: Looptacular!

Share:

What do Jamie Lidell, Andrew Bird and Owen Pallet all have in common? They’re all dudes! And they all like to use those famous looping machines, or, loopers (my name for them). Here to break the boys club is Josie Charlwood, a lovely musician who also has a knack for making lots of different noises at once without making you want to chop your face off. Now, I’m not saying she’s the only double-x chromosome succeeding in one-woman-bandery, but she’s certainly caught our attention with this smashing Gorillaz cover.

If you know of any other looptastic females, please, let us know!

And thank you, friend Abel, for sending me this while you should be working.

The two Beautiful, with a capital B, women in Garfunkel and Oats are both amazing performers in lyrics, musical quality and delivery. Ms. Charlwood is an amazing performer, and a Ginger rocker to boot. Out Standing. Well done Ms. Keep our internets full of fantastic loop and original tracks.

Excellent! I also highly recommend Julianna Barwick who loops her own vocals to make beautiful soundscapes. She has two EPs and an album that came out earlier this year on Asthmatic Kitty Records. Her EP, Florine, is one of the most beautiful collections of music I’ve ever heard.
